 --Stafordyille received quite treat in the shape of music Tuesday evening, 18th inst, in visit and street concert by Citi- zens' Band of Stafford Springs, which was highly enjoyable, and well appreciated, as attested by the large turnout, almost the entire population being out in force. The band, as usual, made fine appearance. The music Vt frst-class, and the borough no doubt takes great pride in this local musical talent. We hope to hear more of the same sort in the near future, which, if we mistake not, will be met with a more substantial appreciation of its worth.
 Tt is not often that our usually quiet village is disturbed with excitement as of late. First, wo hear of the search and the obtaining of intoxicating drinks at the Germans, which is soon followed up by 0f of @E Il the hay-field to mash each other, but as no bones were broken, and no blood spill ed, we conclude it was tame affair. The week wound up with general invitation to all of the citizens of the place to meet at the residence of James Swift, then and there to now the grass on his place, also to partake of cigars and home brewed peer, which was very liberally partaken of by many of the younger as well as older ones. Whether the sickening effect was produced by the strong cigars or too much of the strong home-brewed we cannot tell, put it was very evident thst the moving pee had a very bad effect on some present. which Ihi is to be regretted by all. Beware 'f the home -brewed. T' "''1.' .,,r.lf,,.. <From another correspondent) ,- 5- Elmer F. Newell and Grace H.
